IMPRQVEMENT m ADJUSTABLE STOPS FOR CAS-TERS FOR STOVE-LEGS.

" The s ehedule referred to'in these Letters Patent and making part of the saine.

To all whom it may concern.- .Be it known that LWILLIAM COUGHLIIN, of Olarksville, in the county of Clinton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Stove- Legs; and do hereby declare that the following is a.

full, cleanand exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing making a part of this-specification, and' to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon. l

Figure 1 of the drawing is a vertical section of my invention.

Figure 2is a front view of the roller. Figure 3 is a side view of the same. Figure 4 is a detail.

"My inyention relates to means for moving and ad justing stoves 'u'pona floor or carpet,and consists in a novel arrangement of devices as hereinafter de-'.

scribed, designed to aid the operator in. the labor referred to. l l

A of the drawing represents a stove-leg, constructed .with an opening or recess in its foot; adapted to re-.

ceive andhold ascrewor bolt, 0, in such manner that the head of such screw or bolt shall beturned down- -ward,as shown.

B represents a caster, constructed in the usual form of staple-casters, the cross-bar of the staple passing over the head of the screw 0. V In addition to an ordinary caster, however, I add a jehuck, cfand a spring, y, in the manner represented. The oflice of this chuck eis to aid in securing the, stove-leg at the desired place on the floor or carpet, which office is accomplished by ela'sping over the bottom of the roller on the outside, and thereby preventing it from rotating. 7

The spring y is attached to the cross-barsof the caster-staple, and is designed for use in holding the chuck'up out of the way of the roller when the stove" "is to be moved. 1 I 7 What Iclaim as my invention, and desire tose cure by Letters Patent, is-

The attachment fora stove-leg herein described,

consisting of the caster B, chuck v, and spring 3 when arranged for attachment by the screw a, substantially as and for the-purpose specified.

In testimony that I cla'im the above Ihave herei L unto subscribed my name in the presence oftwo wit-' uesses.
